Abstract: Given an Elliptic curve E with complex multiplication, it is known that E has (potentially) good reduction everywhere. Concretely, this means that the j-invariant of E is an algebraic integer. The generalization of this result to Abelian-Varieties follows from the Neron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion for good reduction.

We generalize this result to Exceptional Shimura varieties S. Concretely, we show that there exists some integral model S_0 of S such that all special points of S extend to integral points of S_0. To prove this we establish a Neron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion in this setting. Our methods are general and apply, in particular, to arbitrary variations of hodge structures with an immersive Kodaira-Spencer map.

We will explain the proof (which is largely in the realm of birational p-adic geometry) and the open questions that remain. This is joint work with Ben Bakker.
